Chapter 209 Shocking News
(From MC's perspective)
"Nothing is going on actually. So you can stop worrying unnecessarily, " I said to him.
After saying that I resumed eating. I just want to leave this place as soon as possible.
On the other hand, Brian Carey wasn't okay with his brother's response. He feels it's not a genuine answer.
"Is he spending his time on training?" Brian thought to himself.
A quick glint flashes into his eyes when he thought about sub-taboo magic power. Looking at Vincent, a thought rose in his heart.
He wants to see the power of gravity. At first, he hasn't considered it seriously. Because Vincent awakened his magic power recently. So he had no idea about competing earlier.
But now out of nowhere, he had this sudden urge to test his brother's strength.
"Vincent, why don't we spar against each other later?" Brian asked. He was genuine this time.
I halted my movements after hearing a sudden proposal from Brian. I put the spoon on the plate before looking at him.
I saw his expression was a bit serious. Like he was thinking I'm a big shot. But I'm not foolish enough to expose my strength.
I revealed a bitter smile before saying, "What happened to you?"
"It will take at least one year for me to get good strength. So I'll consider after then," after saying that I continued eating.
Brian Carey was at a loss of words. He can't refute his brother's words because it's true. Then again he is not in hurry anyway. He will wait until his brother gains some strength.
5 minutes later,
I left home after breakfast. I'm a bit surprised by Brian's intention. He is looking forward to fighting with me. Shaking my head, I walked along the road.
I reached the school premise 15 minutes later. Seeing the familiar gate, I sighed inwardly. Yesterday, I had a such terrific experience. Fortunately, I'm able to come back.
Hereafter, I should stick to the school until I reach level 2. Then I retracted the unnecessary thoughts and walked forward to enter the school.
I was not alone. There are also other staff and students entering beside me. I walked along with them. Suddenly, out of nowhere, I began to hear whispers.
Strangely, I felt I heard my name. Then I glanced around to see where it was coming from.
Behind, a group of girls gossiping among themselves. From the group, someone pointed fingers at me before talking among themselves.
Seeing that, I wrinkled my eyebrows in confusion. I'm somewhat sure that they are talking about me. But I don't know what is the topic of their discussion.
Then I spotted their badge. They are from Class A2, then I eased down my eyebrows after spotting that. Maybe they are discussing past events.
Then I turned back and walked into the school. Like always, I decided to wait for fatty in the waiting area. I don't know what's going on with him. There is no message whatsoever.
Before I turned to walk in a different direction. I heard someone calling out my name,
"Vincent?"
Hearing that, I turned around to face the person.
I saw a group of students from the previous class. They are old classmates from Class A2.
"Again?" I said.
Earlier, those girls. Now, these people. I don't know what is their deal.
But I greeted with a smile.
"Hey guys, how have you been lately?" I asked.
Hearing that, everyone remained silent for a moment. Looking at their complicated expression. I understand something is up.
I had taken one day off. So what major thing possibly happened yesterday? Lots of questions appeared in my mind.
"Okay, I don't like suspense. Can you tell me what is going on?" I said in a stern tone. I went straight to the point instead of watching drama playing out in front of me.
Hearing my words, they looked into each other's eyes before turning toward me. I glanced around the surroundings and I realised our conversation is slowly drawing the attention of others. Including staff and another teacher.
"This is unusual," I uttered in surprise.
Which further confirms my suspicions that something had gone wrong. And the event might be related to me. As this thought rose in my heart, my mind quickly thought of something else.
Jake House? The late 5th rank wizard in my class. Did the school catch something? No way, I was clear in my implementation. There are no such traces left behind by me.
When I was lost in my thoughts, I heard someone calling out my name again, "Vincent"
This time I saw very familiar faces. They are my current classmates and enemies.
Seeing the appearance of Chrissy Heart, Bruce Hill and Mark Spear the wizard students from class A2 immediately left the place.
When the poisonous trio was approaching me, I saw something interesting. A quick glint flashed into my eyes as I saw fear in their eyes.
It's different from the complicated expression of old classmates. These three were scared of me. As far as I remember, I haven't done anything lately.
Ever since I adopted the policy of low-key development. I stopped making plans inside the school. Rather, I focused on the wilderness.
When the trio appeared in front of me, Chrissy Heart opened her mouth to say, "Vincent, come with us to the clinic."
"Clinic," I said.
Hearing that Bruce and Mark Spear took a step backwards.
Seeing that, I began to feel little irritation.
Chrissy Heart saw changing expression of Vincent, she immediately answered, "Something happened yesterday when you are not present."
Hearing that, I turned towards Chrissy Heart and nodded at her before saying, "Tell me everything."
Chrissy's Heart calmed down her racing heart before started explaining from the beginning.
On the other hand, some students left the place. While others decided to stand back and watch the fun. The events which had happened yesterday shocked everyone.
When Chrissy Heart started explaining, my expression turned bit a bit solemn. Chrissy Heart began to stumble due to fear.
Seeing that, I maintained my composure. But when she revealed the fact that the fatty Lucas was bedridden due to severe injury. And all of this happened because of Liam Baker and Easton Brown.
I got pissed off. These guys dared to act against my only sponsor. If he got bedridden, how am I supposed to eat mana meat in future?
Liam Baker and Easton Brown caused damage to my interest. My heart boiled in anger realising that.
On the other hand, the crowd and the trio thought otherwise. They assumed Vincent is getting angry because someone touched his best friend.
Some female wizards in the crowd got emotional.
Even Chrissy Heart, Bruce and Mark Spear felt the same way. They were expecting Vincent's reaction.
Seeing the crowd getting larger, I calmed down my heart. But I don't understand who gave Liam such courage to act against new students.
The image of Frank Lambert comes to mind. Is it him?
Then looking at Chriss Heart, I asked, "What about others?"
"Did you see anyone beside Liam?"
Hearing that, Chrissy Heart shook her head in denial and replied, "No"
"We saw Liam Baker instructed Easton Brown to thrash Lucas Brad in front of many wizard students," Chrissy Heart said.
Hearing that, I stopped asking any more questions. I felt it's better to ask fatty once he recovers from injury.
The next second, I walked in the direction of the clinic instead of giving a reply to them.
Thud
Chrissy Heart collapsed to the ground as she loses strength in her leg.
"Phew," She exhaled in relief.
Bruce Hill and Mark Spear went forward to support her. Both are not good-looking either. Their back is completely drenched in sweat.
Mark Spear said, "I thought he would use his gravity magic on us." After saying that he gulped his saliva in fear.
"Ha...ha...ha...," Chrissy Heart let out a bitter laugh before saying, "You stole my words."
She had more fear than both as she is the one revealing the news to Vincent. She then tries to get up from the ground.
After standing up, Chrissy Heart asked Bruce Hill, "What are you thinking?"
Bruce Hill replied, "I felt it's unreal."
"Normally, Vincent will use his magic to suppress us. But this time he had controlled his impulse somehow," Bruce added further.
Chrissy Heart nodded her heart. She also noticed this thing then she found the crowd is still looking at them.
She replied, "Let's leave. I have a feeling that Vincent will do something."
Hearing that, Bruce said with a laugh, "Ha...Ha...Ha..., Liam deserves it. He went overboard with his calculations."
Then three of them walked away from this place towards the A rank building.
On the other hand, I reached the school clinic in a few minutes. Looking at the familiar building, old memories surface in my mind. Then I slowly walked up to the waiting area.
There is no one at the front desk. Seeing that, I found an empty chair to sit on. Next, my gaze lands on one of the clinic rooms. Because this one lit up with lights.
